span classtab/span RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is a format that is used to deliver video, audio, and simulation data over IP networks. It is used largely in entertainment and communication systems that stream media, systems like telephony, and video teleconference applications. RTP is used with RTCP (RTP Control Protocol). RTCP monitors the quality of service and transmission statistics and helps with synchronization of multiple streams, while RTP carries the media streams. Applications usually run RTP on top of UDP, in order to use ldquoits multiplexing and checksum services both protocols contribute parts of the transport protocol functionalityrdquo (RFC 1889). RTP is used with signaling protocols like SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). Quality of service for real time services is not guaranteed, nor is resource reservation addressed with RTP. RTP is designed for real-time, end to end, transfer of streaming data. RTP has the ability to compensate for jitter, and it also detects data that has arrived out of sequence, but it does not prevent data from arriving out of sequence. There are many benefits of using RTP, such as synchronization, error concealment, loss detection, and congestion control, just to name a few. RTP...
